You could put the function logic in the main query for better performance but you would be sacrificing readibility.The arithmic overflow error is because of the asumptions I made as I explained in my first post and happens at the 'InOffice' field. If you comment that out the query will run without error. But you would still have to fix the 'InOffice' calculation.Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:42:01 GMTken.willekensRE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxKen,When i tried to execute the select query, It took around 3 mints to execute and getting the following error.Msg 8115, Level 16, State 2, Line 1Arithmetic overflow error converting expression to data type int.Mon, 18 Feb 2013 05:36:58 GMTroja1202RE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxHere are the function definitions that were missing in my previous post. Perhaps it can be of use.The extra information about the table isn't any help to me. I still feel the data quality isn't optimal which makes the problem a lot harder. But somebody else can probably figure it out and I am interested to see how they will do it.[code="sql"]CREATE FUNCTION fnSecondsToTime (@TotalSeconds int)RETURNS varchar(8)ASBEGIN RETURN (SELECT CONVERT(char(8), DATEADD(second, convert(int,@TotalSeconds), '19000101'), 108))END GOCREATE FUNCTION fnTimeToSeconds (@TimeToConvert time)RETURNS intASBEGIN RETURN (SELECT (DATEPART(hour, @TimeToConvert) * 3600) +(DATEPART(minute, @TimeToConvert) * 60) + DATEPART(second, @TimeToConvert))END GO[/code]Mon, 18 Feb 2013 04:52:09 GMTken.willekensRE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxThanks allot for your replies.I can provide you the definition of stagingINOUT table's Definition.CREATE TABLE dbo.StagingINOUT (CardNo int , IODate date , IOTime time (7), IOTypeN int, DATETIME datetime)If any other information is required, please let me know.Waiting for the better solution ThankyouMon, 18 Feb 2013 00:04:29 GMTroja1202RE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxYou are completely right. The function definition isn't included because I am not able to post them. For some reason it keeps timing out if I try to post or preview them. I'll try again later.You are also right about the scalar function performance. Their performance is terrible and particularly in larger data sets. This was just an attempt to get the result first. Performance can later be improved by putting the functionality of the functions directly in the query.I will wait to see if the OP can post some additional information that can help in solving this problem.Fri, 15 Feb 2013 07:34:06 GMTken.willekensRE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxKen it looks like you tried something to help here. Unfortunately you have a couple of scalar functions in your code and you didn't post the definition of them. BTW, scalar functions are notoriously slow, even worse when you have them nested like you do. ;-)I am certain that we can resolve the problem but without table definitions it is challenging. At best we can guess what the datatypes are. If the OP comes back and posts that there probably be a number of innovative ways to tackle this.Fri, 15 Feb 2013 07:27:17 GMTSean LangeRE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxWell, I gave it a go. I used the sample data in the post to create two functions to convert time to seconds and the other way around to convert seconds back to time. I then used a GROUP BY to aggregate the data on CardNo and IODate. With the sample data I was able to create a query that returned a decent result.Unfortunately I used a couple of assumptions to calculate the 'InOffice' value, namely that every IN scan has one OUT scan and that both the IN and OUT scan occur the same day (so not usable in an 24 hour time registration situation). After importing your data into a temp table I discovered that my assumptions were wrong. Just one example IODate 2012-04-03, CardNo 100 has numerous IN scans without an OUT scan. There are numerous other 'Data annomalies'. Because of this the 'InOffice' value will be wrong in my query.I therefore don't think it is possible, in any easy way, to get the result you want without first improving the data quality. Below is the code that worked for the sample data. Perhaps you, or somebody else, can use it to find a solution. I will be following the thread to see what sharper minds then my own can make of it.[code="sql"]SELECT StIn.CardNo ,StIn.IODate ,dbo.fnSecondsToTime(DateDiff(ss,MIN(StIn.IOTime), MAX(StOut.IOTime))) as TotalHours ,dbo.fnSecondsToTime(SUM(dbo.fnTimeToSeconds(StOut.IOTime)) - SUM(dbo.fnTimeToSeconds(StIn.IOTime))) as InofficeFROM stagingINOUT StIn, stagingINOUT StOutWHERE StIn.IOTypeN = 12 AND StOut.IOTypeN = 11 AND StIn.CardNo = StOut.CardNoGROUP BY StIn.CardNo, StIn.IODateORDER BY CardNo ,IODate[/code]Fri, 15 Feb 2013 07:06:27 GMTken.willekensRE: How to calculate total working hours of all the employees in specified dates.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1419307-8-1.aspxPlease read the link in my signature about best practices when posting questions. We don't need 75k rows of data in a text file. We need to have create table and insert statements.
